The How-To Of Sun Tzu (Sun Tzu 5:7) (Exodus 33:13; Psalms 25:10; Isaiah 55:8; Deuteronomy 1:31; Proverbs 14:12; Joshua 1:6-9:2 Timothy 1:7)

Disorder when you simulate’s a simple thing to do,
Just organize and sub-divide great numbers to a few;
Then discipline, and train each squad, and orchestrate their moves
To ordered to be, not order see – lest chance that you will lose.

Now cowardice, timidity, and fear, great weapons prove;
To feign them fools opposing troops and gets them on the move;
Hide combat power, and circumstance, and latent energy,
Configuration (“Shih”) obscure, momentum then set free.

To hide one strength in weakness is a matter of control;
Formations can’t be seen at all by spies sent from the foe;
Deployment of your forces (Hsing), those dispositions right
Are hidden ’neath a weakness scam until the time is right.

God’s ways are not our ways so it is best to live in Him,
And He in us as we go ’round and to Him service bring;
A spirit of timidity we did not get from God,
But using it to fool the foe, to them will not seem odd.

That is because most folks believe the Spirit is for wimps,
So when they see the spiritual they think they have a glimpse
Of weakness, so attack is good on this, our weakest point,
But they don’t see God’s power in us when we let Him anoint –

Us with the power that’s greater than the power He built within,
Which He can mix with ours to give a victory to win;
“I am the vine – the branch you are – in Me abide always,
And you can do all things I ask, and in the end give praise.
